09:45 The history of TRIPS, and notion of “ Barriers to Legitimate Trade”
Matthew Kennedy - University of International Business and Economics, Beijing
The WTO/TRIPS Agreement for the first time put intellectual property rights in the context of trade
rules. The reason was that only a harmonised level of IP protection would ensure a level playing
field in international trade, while on the other hand lacunae in the scope of IP protection would lead
to trade distortions. On the other hand, it must be realised that territorial monopolies are already
per se obstacles to trade. The TRIPS Agreement tries to strike a balance by ensuring “that measures
and procedures to enforce intellectual property rights do not themselves become barriers to
legitimate trade”.In the last 20 years, a number of controversial cases have arisen where
intellectual property rights are conferred, used or enforced in a manner that arguably impede
legitimate trade, both in the domestic and international context.
10: 30 Q&A followed by Coffee Break
11:00 Parallel Imports, Exhaustion and Patents
t.b.a.
This topic looks at one of the most controversial issues of the TRIPS Agreement and the underlying
legal and economic rationales.
11:45 The Geoblocking of Legitimate Content
Marketa Trimble – University of Nevada, Las Vegas
This topic primarily concerns copyright and geograpical encryptions that prevent the legitimate use
of copyrighted works across borders
12:30 Q&A followed by Lunch
Monday
6 Nov 2017
Afternoon
14:00 The registration of description terms in International Trade
Anke Moerland, Maastricht University, The Netherlands
This topic arises in the context of trade marks and geographical indications. For trade marks, it
concerns the registration of foreign descriptive terms with the purpose or result of preventing
competition by importation. For geographical indications, it concerns the protection of terms that
are considered generic in the domestic market.
14:45 Transit and Trade
Martin Senftleben – Free University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
In the field of enforcement, the issue of IP enforcement over goods in transit has been particularly
controversial and also given rise to complaints before the WTO due to conflicts with the principle of
free transit enshrined in the GATT Agreement.

9:00 The Green, Green Grass of Evergreening Patents
Roberto Reis – Center for Technologic Development in Health – CDTS/FIOCRUZ, Brazil
This topic concerns tensions between the limited duration of pharma patents and attempts to extend
such duration by the subsequent filing of similar patents, thereby creating legal uncertainty and a
deterrent for generic manufacturers.
9:45 Exhaustion and Second – hand Digital Goods/Contents
Matthias Leistner – University of Munich, Germany
Rules on the domestic exhaustion of copyrighted goods serve the freedom of commerce and do not
allow the copyright owner to control the second-hand market of such goods. This established
balance may considerably shift in favour of copyright owners and platform providers should the
exhaustion principle not apply to digital products.
10:30 Q&A followed by Coffee Break
11:00 Unjustified Threats
Anselm Kamperman Sanders - Maastricht University, The Netherlands
Enforcement of intellectual property rights by way of warning letters sent to alleged infringers may
be a cheap but potentially abusive way of asserting rights. After all, infringement should be
determined by the courts and not by threatening letters to producers or their customers. Many
jurisdictions thus impose a rather strict liability where such threats turn out to be unfounded.

IEEM Intellectual Property Seminar
IP as Property – Of Pharmaceuticals, Tobacco, Commodities and other Matters

09:45 IP as Property in the Context of International Law- An Introduction to the Seminar
Anselm Kamperman Sanders - Maastricht University, The Netherlands
This seminar introduction will focus on the substantive and procedural issues to be discussed: How
industrial property has morphed from an arbitrary policy tool in the 19th Century to a quasi-
property right whose limitations are perceived as acts of expropriation and challenged in the context
of multilateral and bilateral trade agreements, and before international and domestic courts, often
at the expense of public interests or other equally valid private rights.
10:30 Q&A followed by Coffee Break
11:00 Dispute Resolution in International and Bilateral Agreements
Shahla Ali – University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
This presentation will focus on the mechanisms provided by international and bilateral agreements
in order to resolve disputes over the interpretation and compliance, who the parties can be to these
disputes, how the courts or tribunals are composed of, how proceedings are structured, whether
there are appeals, and what the powers of the arbitration tribunals are in terms of remedies, and
how these can be enforced. The contribution takes a look at international and bilateral agreements
in general and is not limited to those involving intellectual property rights.
11:45 The origins of Investor Dispute Tribunals
Julien Chaisse - Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Investor Dispute Tribunals are one of the most controversial parts of currently negotiated bilateral
trade agreements, namely TTIP and CETA. They are suspected of intransparency, because
proceedings are not public, of unequal treatment, because they give foreign investors a right of
action where domestic investors would have none, and they are suspected of hollowing out the
sovereignty of States by allowing acts of legislation to be challenged. Often, these tribunals can
award damages. The presentation looks at the history of investor dispute tribunals, explains how
widely used this form of dispute resolution is in current and currently negotiated agreements is,
addresses the above-mentioned concerns and explores possible alternatives.
12:30 Q&A followed by Lunch
Afternoon
14:30 Dispute Resolution under the WTO Regime
Wolf Meier-Ewert - IP Division at WTO, Switzerland
The WTO Agreement for the first time in a multilateral agreement set up a comprehensive – and
compulsory – dispute resolution system. This is markedly different from dispute resolution under
bilateral agreements and is credited with greater transparency, a level playing field (in that
plaintiffs and defendants can only be States) and a balanced enforcement mechanism. It further
provides for a two-tier enforcement mechanism with the possibility of an appeal. This presentation
looks at the history of this part of the WTO Agreement, its mechanism, what use has been made of
this system hitherto, and whether it has provided a satisfactory answer to non-compliance.
15:15 IP Disputes before National Courts - Direct Application of International Law
t.b.a.
The direct application of international agreements in domestic disputes before domestic courts is a
scaled-down version of the direct application by investor-state tribunals. The argument plaintiffs
make is usually that due to an imperfect or missing implementation of an international agreement
into domestic law, there is an inconsistency that should be resolved by direct reference to the
international agreement. Past cases in the field of intellectual property rights concern the Paris
Convention (Art. 6bis on well-known marks) and the TRIPS Agreement (duration of patents and
patentable subject matter). Direct application of an international agreement (in contrast to a
convention-friendly interpretation of domestic law) touches upon the sovereignty of parliament and
is refused by some courts (US, UK, Brasil), while other courts have affirmed direct application
(Austria, Portugal, Germany).
16:00 Q&A followed by Coffee Break
16:30 Disputes about IP Legislation before Investor Tribunals, the WTO or national courts –
where is the Future? Peter Yu - Texas A&M University School of Law, USA
This provocative end-of-the day presentation will analyse where disputes over intellectual property
rights should best be argued, taking into account the expectations of right owners, the interests of
the general public and the proper functioning of domestic law-making. Should lawmakers be held
ransom by private investors? Should private right owners depend on States in order for them to
comply with their obligations or initiate a dispute settlement against States that neglect their
obligations? Should the general public be given transparent access to proceedings?

9:00 Intellectual Property Legislation before Investor-State Tribunals
Daniel Gervais - School of Law at Vanderbilt University, USA
To date, three high-profile cases involving industrial property rights have been litigated before
investor-state tribunals based on an alleged failure to comply with the terms of bilateral investment
agreements: In the first case, Philip Morris Asia v. Australia, the focus was not on the plain
packaging regime for cigarettes enacted by Australia, but the question who could benefit from a
bilateral agreement. Only the second dispute, Philip Morris v. Uruguay, indeed addressed questions
of substance, namely the nature of trade marks as property, and the leeway of States to limit trade
mark use in order to address health concerns. The third case, Eli Lilly v. Canada (still pending),
challenges the limitations of patent law as stipulated in the Canadian Patent Act.
9:45 Intellectual Property Legislation before National Courts Robert Burrell - University of Sheffield, UK
This presentation looks at the two challenges against the plain packaging regime of cigarettes that
were litigated before domestic courts, one in Australia (2012) and one in the UK (2015). While both
suits were dismissed, the decisions extensively dealt with the nature of trade mark rights and the
discretion enjoyed by national legislation to limit such rights when trying to address major public
concerns such as health and safety. Both courts also addressed the issue what “expropriation”
could mean in the context of intellectual property rights and arrived at a rather narrow definition
thereof.
10:30 Q&A followed by Coffee Break
11:00 Should the Commission re-focus its approach on IP legislation? Balance of Rights and
Mandate Commission Lothar Ehring - European Commission, Brussels
In Scarlet Extended, the Court of Justice of the EU assessed the legality of enforcement of copyright
on the internet. In striking down an order imposing a duty to monitor internet traffic for infringing
activity, the court held that one needs to balance the interests of owners of intellectual property
rights in their enjoyment of property as a human right with other societal interests equally protected
by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. This presentation assesses how these
other societal interests (e.g. right to free speech and information, health, privacy etc.) could and
should guide the future EU IP policy, and whether there are limits to developing such a new policy
by the fact that IP rights are protected as property titles.
11:45 Intellectual Property and the State’s Freedom to Operate
Anselm Kamperman Sanders - Maastricht University, The Netherlands
At a conclusion of the seminar, we look back at the presentations and ask whether it is possible for a
(domestic) legislature to know ex ante whether and to what extent is it possible to limit the existence
or exercise of intellectual property rights in order to achieve societal goals. Could legislature limit
the duration of future or existing copyrighted works? Can new patent exemptions be introduced?
Can the scope of trade mark protection be reduced in view of their unlimited duration? Going over a
number of examples, like the abolitionist movement for patents, we arrive at today’s Brexit scenario,
where the question has already been put forward: “Can we completely start afresh and eradicate all
European law from our IP system?”

Hong Kong IP Update

Hong Kong Intellectual Property Department, Function Room 2501
25/F Wu Chung House, 213 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong
IP Exchanges
IP trading has brought to the fore the challenges of valuation of IP assets and their trade
separate from traditional connections such as goodwill, products, services or indeed any
physical embodiment. The legal title of intellectual property can be transferred, but what is its
value without ancillary know-how, workforce, or marketable product? Does the value of IP
then lie in a mere promise, or in the ability to use an IPR as a nuisance to other traders?

IEEM Intellectual Property Law Programme 2014
12 May – 21 May 2014
The 11th Intellectual Property Law School
12 – 16 May 2014 - Macau Cultural Centre The IP Law School is a unique initiative in Asia offering a taught programme in international
Intellectual Property Law and its relevance for global, European and Asian economic
development and innovation policy. The IP Law School is extremely suited for trainee lawyers,
Intellectual Property professionals with an economic or policy background, and master students
in Intellectual Property wishing to enhance their skills at post-academic level.
Starting from the basics of the Paris and Berne conventions, the course covers the development
of Intellectual Property Law all the way to the WTO TRIPS Agreement and the WIPO treaties.
Attention is also devoted to regional arrangements, such as the European Patent Convention,
and other new international and national initiatives. From a policy perspective free trade
agreements and bilateral investment arrangements covering Intellectual Property, as well as
ongoing negotiations in the area of protection of traditional knowledge will be covered.
Classes are offered in an intensive Socratic format in the course of one week by experts in the
field. This challenging programme also expects participants to jointly prepare and argue several
moot cases in a friendly, yet competitive atmosphere, providing a unique insight in the way in
which colleagues from various jurisdictions approach international and domestic legal
problems.

IEEM Intellectual Property Law Programme 2013
15 April – 24 April 2013
The 10th
Intellectual Property Law School, 15 – 19 May 2013, Macau
Cultural Centre
The IP Law School is a unique initiative in Asia offering a taught programme in international Intellectual Property Law and its relevance for global, European and Asian economic development and innovation policy. The IP Law School is extremely suited for trainee lawyers, Intellectual Property professionals with an economic or policy background, and master students in Intellectual Property wishing to enhance their skills at post-academic level.
Starting from the basics of the Paris and Berne conventions, the course covers the development of Intellectual Property Law all the way to the WTO TRIPS Agreement and the WIPO treaties. Attention is also devoted to regional arrangements, such as the European Patent Convention, and other new international and national initiatives. From a policy perspective free trade agreements and bilateral investment arrangements covering Intellectual Property, as well as ongoing negotiations in the area of protection of traditional knowledge will be covered.
Classes are offered in an intensive Socratic format in the course of one week by experts in the field. This challenging programme also expects participants to jointly prepare and argue several moot cases in a friendly, yet competitive atmosphere, providing a unique insight in the way in which colleagues from various jurisdictions approach international and domestic legal problems.
Annual IEEM Intellectual Property Seminar 2013, 22 and 23 April 2013
Intellectual Property in an Open Society, Grand Lapa Macau The event will cover the way in which IP Law is instrumental to the functioning of a competitive economy. Traditionally, commercial actors and interest groups have shaped IP policy. Increasingly, however, policy makers and citizens alike expect innovation and intellectual property to make a contribution towards the tackling of big issues, such as global warming, access to healthcare and food, sustainable development, and technology transfer. A group of renowned speakers will cover diverse, yet connected issues, such as participation in IP policymaking, access to information, open innovation and technology transfer. In short, the question is what contribution Intellectual Property can make to an open society.
